A good representation of what the book has to offer. The cover conveys the savage heat of the planet, and the overlaid images give a hint of the size difference of the characters. I highly recommend it and cannot wait for the next in this series to come out. I would love to explain that specifically, but don’t want to spoil it. But the more I thought on it, the more I realized that wasn’t the case–the ending is perfect. Speaking of the ending, it felt a bit abrupt at first. I was seriously holding my breath and biting my nails at the end. But its more the two together that really gets me about this story. And my goodness isn’t Murphy an enticing one. When it comes to D/s, one thing that fascinates me is when the physically larger guy is the submissive/bottom. And damn it, he doesn’t need to because the nuance of communication between him and Sarge is exquisite. Murphy is intelligent, but he doesn’t talk much. “You get me home, get me patched up, and you’ll see what good boys get.”Īt first it’s just an interesting diversion for Sarge, but that changes as he comes to realize what he’s found in Murphy. “You’re a good boy, Murph,” he says softly to me. Right there on the battlefield, wounded and in pain, Sarge propositions Murphy: The two come together when Sarge is injured fighting on the front line, and Murphy uses his special talent to help him. Murphy also has the ability to see psychic/emotional colors (auras?). Sarge is an older, hardened officer Dom Murphy a younger 6ft 8in quiet, muscular, tattooed, sweet enlisted sub.

This story made me bawl like a baby, and I loved it! Its kinky, smoking hot and romantic almost in spite of itself. Gritty, violent, somewhat gory short novella. Can a couple space marines stationed on an alien planet where an endless war rages on find something special in each other? THE LAST NIGHTS OF THE FRANGIPANI HOTEL and SARGE by Bey Deckard, narrated by Nick J. Murphy is the opposite of Sarge… big, tattooed, and delightfully submissive. When he’s injured on the front, Murphy brings him in. Sergeant Wilkes has had a long and prestigious military career.
